Plus, there was the surge of aderated fury

Copper deposited her on the floor then slammed his door shut She’d been in his room countless times before,about this felt different Perhaps it was the way he locked the door behind them, or maybe it was the fact she wanted to rip his face off Whatever it was, it had electricity dancing across her nerve endings

Copper didn’t see off him only made her madder

Well, screw hio all caveman and manhandle me in front of my friends like that” Hands fisted at her sides, she tried and failed to control her rapid breathing

Silence was his only answer, that and the ticking of his jaw But his eyes, they were anything but silent They screae and radiated with…hunger

Mission accomplished

Shell bit her lower lip to keep fro Copper liked to think he had the upper hand at all times, but he was a man like any other Flash soanisms

“My eyes are about ten inches north, Prez” Any other day, she’d be thrilled to have snagged his attention, but today she was practically vibrating with anger that had nothing to do with his ogling

Copper grunted and stalked forward, closing the distance between them “Don’t want me to stare at your tits, don’t come into my house dressed like a fuckin’ Honey”

Oh, he did not just say that

“This isn’t aboutThis is about youcare ofmoney I didn’t want or ask for”

“Knew you agreed to that shit too easily last night,” he grumbled

She’d worked so dahter Worked herself to the bone to provide for and protect her fa theto hi all her hard work and sacrifices right back at her

Granted, it wasn’t an entirely fair assessment The man had no idea why she made some of the choices she made, or just how far she went to protect hi he was blind to But then rationality wasn’t winning out over flustered anger at that moment

“Why’d you stay over last night, Copper? Huh?” She paced in front of hi at hihed on his answer Did he play on her love for hiht, acting on her loneliness and fantasies just to bail in theand toss her some cash?

Re where he was, Copper folded his arht, woman I didn’t feel comfortable with you and Beth alone in the house after that asshole had been there Plus, I was fucking beat Easier to crash at your place since I was there”
